Daniel’s Example of Prayer and Confession, September 22
使我认识祂-第266章
“我便禁食,披麻蒙灰,定意向主上帝祈祷恳求,我向耶和华我的上帝祈祷、认罪”(但9:3,4)。{TMK271.1}[1]
使我认识祂-第266章
And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: and I prayed unto the Lord my God, and made my confession.Daniel 9:3, 4.{TMK 271.1}[1]

但以理祷告与认罪的榜样是要教育和鼓励我们。……但以理知道以色列被掳的时间快要结束了。但他并不认为上帝已应许拯救他们,他们就可以不尽自己的努力。他以禁食痛悔来寻求主,承认自己的罪和百姓的罪。……{TMK271.2}[2]

Daniel’s example of prayer and confession is given for our instruction and encouragement.... Daniel knew that the appointed time for Israel’s captivity was nearly ended, but he did not feel that because God had promised to deliver them, they themselves had no part to act. With fasting and contrition he sought the Lord, confessing his own sins and the sins of the people....{TMK 271.2}[2]

但以理没有凭着自己的良善祈求,却说:“我的上帝啊,求祢侧耳而听,睁眼而看,眷顾我们荒凉之地和称为祢名下的城。我们在祢面前恳求,原不是因自己的义,乃因祢的大怜悯”(但9:18)。他强烈的愿望使他诚恳热切。他继续说:“求主垂听,求主赦免,求主听允而行,为祢自己不要迟延,我的上帝啊!因这城和这民,都是称为祢名下的。”……{TMK271.3}[3]

Daniel makes no plea on the ground of his own goodness, but he says: “O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies” (Daniel 9:18). His intensity of desire makes him earnest and fervent. He continues: “O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.” ...{TMK 271.3}[3]

从但以理口中发出的祈祷多么诚恳啊!表现了多么谦卑的精神啊!从升达上帝的话语中,可以觉察出天上圣火的温暖。上天便差遣使者到但以理那里,来回答那一次的祈祷。在我们的时代,凡以同样的方式献上的祈祷,也会说服上帝。“义人祈祷所发的力量是大有功效的”(雅5:16)。古时的祈祷怎样一经献上,就有火从天上降下来,烧尽坛上的祭牲,现今我们的祈祷也必照样得蒙应允。天上的火也必降下落在我们的心灵之中。我们必得着圣灵的亮光和能力。…………那位垂听但以理祈祷的上帝,也必垂听我们的祈祷,只要我们以痛悔的心来到祂面前。我们的需要是一样迫切的,困难是一样严重的,所以需要同样坚定的宗旨,凭着信将我们的重担挪移到那承当重担的伟大之主身上。我们的时代和但以理祈祷的时代一样,人心需要深受感动。(《评论与通讯》1897年2月9日){TMK271.4}[4]

What a prayer was that which came forth from the lips of Daniel! What humbling of soul it reveals! The warmth of heavenly fire was recognized in the words that were going upward to God. Heaven responded to that prayer by sending its messenger to Daniel. In this our day, prayers offered in like manner will prevail with God. “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16). As in ancient times, when prayer was offered, fire descended from heaven and consumed the sacrifice upon the altar, so in answer to our prayers, the heavenly fire will come into our souls. The light and power of the Holy Spirit will be ours.... That God who heard Daniel’s prayer will hear ours when we come to Him in contrition. Our necessities are as urgent, our difficulties are as great, and we need to have the same intensity of purpose, and in faith roll our burden upon the great Burden Bearer. There is need for hearts to be as deeply moved in our time as in the time when Daniel prayed.27{TMK 271.4}[4]
